Rudy, I hate to say it, but I prefer you the long form responses in substack way better than the twitter posts. The irony is that I didn't start to follow you on twitter until you started on substack. Then I followed for a bit on twitter, but unfollowed because getting the complete formation of ideas is more of what I'm looking for or maybe it feels like I don't always have the knowledge or understanding of what you're saying on twitter. If you do a podcast or similar please try to make sure to do it on platform that allows playback at 1.5x to 2x speed as listening to most at those speeds is more similar to reading (or not getting distracted with as my mind wanders). Sorry if this comes across as a demand, it's really just a suggestion as you can do whatever is right for you. Regardless, thanks for sharing some of your knowledge on a regular basis.

Others have said the same. I was definitely stream of consciousness on Twitter, though I did try to do coherent threads. Here is better for that. Podcasts we shall see. Thank you.

This is absolute crap. I hate it when you're not on Twitter. It becomes an even darker space.

I feel stupid for thinking that Elon would (or could) actually change Twitter. My life has been better since I permanently banned myself month ago.

I thought pre-Elon that twitter was run by people who hate twitter's users, and now post-Elon I can see that nothing has changed.

I agree with Dakota, these posts are better than twitter

Old owner liked walnut sauce. New owner is named after characters in a Werner Von Braun novel... and around and round we go.

Anywho, Twitter is best in read-only mode.

Hi Rudy,

Great list.

Recommend:

'Inside baseball with old chestnut'

Trading podcast with some really thoughtful ideas.

Also very funny.

Hi Rudy was wondering if I could have your permission to share some of your post (syndicate it) on my Substack and link to yours. I’ve been a massive fan for many years.

Banned again? When Elon tweeted you can pretty much say anything you want but not violate DMCA he must have been talking about you. Maybe he’ll send a model 3 in the mail as a me a culpa

Podcast recommendation- Conflicted

It is a combo of current geopolitical with a ton of history, with a focus on the Middle East. Main guy is ex-Al Quaeda turned MI6 double agent and hosted by a documentarian. Both informative and entertaining.

New owner, same as the last. I'm wondering, seriously, if it's not just controlled opposition. Anyway, good thing i will be able to get your content again.

Here is different. Take a while to get into a groove. Check out some of the older posts from last time I was banned.

Rudy, any good follows or posts you've come across on the Fed as the buyer of last resort?

You were shadow-banned on there anyway. I had to search your name to find your posts for the past several weeks. Do you know which post triggered the pink-haired soyboys?

Probably a DMCA complaint. Could even be for a tweet from years ago

Shameful that they do not identify and explain their decisions
